Reversible lanes

Reversible traffic lanes are usually used to increase traffic flow into and out of the city. Some roadways may have special rules or restrictions during certain early morning and evening hours. These restrictions are often used in large urban areas to improve traffic flow during commuting hours and can include reversing the direction of travel for a lane or road and allowing the use of the shoulder as a travel lane. It is important to know the local traffic restrictions in areas where you plan to drive.
